Hello,

A few months ago someone wrote in with a problem installation GnuBatch (Cfile references are broken), I was wondering if there was a resolution to this issue? Perhaps it's best to simply install the older version ?

Hello,
I'm having a heck of a time trying to install gnubatch on a fresh Ubuntu
10.04 machine. Can someone let me know which packages I need prior to making
and installing gnubatch v1.3?
So far, by trial and error, it appears the following are needed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential bison flex libncurses5-dev libtool
But I'm still getting errors when making. Here's the tail end of the output
of make:
gcc -o btpwchk btpwchk.o lib/.libs/libgnubatch_int.a -lcrypt
lib/.libs/libgnubatch_int.a(helpvec.o): In function `helpvec':

make[1]: *** [btpwchk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/downloads/gnubatch-1.3/build'

If you can let me know how to get around this particular error, great! Even
better would be providing as much of an gnuBatch installation guide for a
linux journeyman such as myself.
Thanks,
Matt
